                <p class="ff2 fs15 cf0 lh18 pb15 mb15 bd1B">There are 32,000 windows in Petronas Twin Towers.  It takes 2 months to wash them all! <br />The word “ringgit” means “jagged” in Malay, and originally referred to the separated edges of Spanish silver dollars widely circulated in the region.</p>
                <p class="cf12 fs18">Taboo 1</p>
                <p class="ff2 fs15 cf0 lh18 pb15 mb15 bd1B">In Chinese custom, there is a ritual in wedding ceremony when the younger sibling has to walk underneath the elder sibling’s pants hung on the door when stepping out of the house.  The significance of it is to show approval of the marriage by the elder sibling.  It is also an act of apology from the younger sibling to the elder sibling for marrying before the latter does. This ritual is still being practised today by a minority group although pants have been replaced by cloth.</p>
                <p class="cf12 fs18">Taboo 2</p>
                <p class="ff2 fs15 cf0 lh18 pb15 mb15 bd1B">Cold water and soy bean milk are discouraged for consumption on wedding eve as they are believed to temporarily cause sexual dysfunction which is a bad thing if you want to impress your partner in bed. So it is easier not to complain or question the elders during your wedding than face the consequences of disobeying their advice. However, since we are living in modern times, this taboo is being taken lightly now as the Malays are becoming less traditional and superstitious compared to yesteryears.</p>

                            <p class="ff2 fs15 cf0 lh18">Broga Hill is also known by the locals as ‘Bukit Lalang’.  The name is derived from abundance of weeds (‘lalang’) on the hill (‘bukit’) top.  This hill is 350-meter in height. The climb up the peak can be an onerous task for first timers but there are ropes that are tied to trees that help you along. <br /><br />
                            The hike will take up to 1 hour.  With the breathtaking view at the top especially the “Red Yolk” sunrise, one will find the climb worthwhile.  You can bring your family along and have picnic at the hilltop.

                    With 4 weekends on hand, I had to think and act fast.  Setting criteria such as ‘low in cost’, ‘within the city’, and ‘can be completed fast’, would definitely help in my mission.  For the search of secret spots unknown to tourists, I decided to have a theme called “Where Urban Meets the Green”.  The outcome was the two hidden gems described above! Except for the extra inches to my waistline, I had no qualms about it - having discovered many new places, recaptured memories of the old places and savoured varieties of local cuisine.</p>
